Start your journey to better health

Many of us have used lockdown as an opportunity to change habits and embrace a healthier lifestyle. However, it hasn’t been easy and many of us have also, understandably, found it harder to stay healthy during this time.

While staying active is great, improving your diet is the most important part. Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start and what will actually work for you when it comes to healthy eating and exercise in general.

To help and support you, Public Heath England has launched the new Better Health national campaign. They are encouraging everyone to introduce changes that will help you work towards a healthier weight.

Better Health has a range of tools and support to help you to eat better, drink less alcohol and get active. You can download a new app for the free 12-week NHS Weight Loss Plan, helping you make healthier food choices and learn skills to prevent weight gain.

The plan is broken down into 12 weeks so you can:

• set weight loss goals
• use the BMI calculator to customise your plan
• plan your meals
• make healthier food choices
• get more active and burn more calories
• record your activity and progress

Don’t worry, the app makes it easy for you – just take it one week at a time. Let’s make “one day” today!
